Please Help with self install for 61.5

[tarheel]

I have a Dish Pro dual lnb feeding 1 E rec. #322. I bought from a flea market a VIP 211 & a Dish 500 with a DP quad lnb. I want to get sat. 61.5 & feed both the 322 & VIP 211. Can you tell me how I can do this? Thanks

You need a DP34 switch to combine 119/110 and 61.5 to feed the 3 tuners. Or you can get a Dish Pro Plus Twin LNB and you can feed the two receivers from the DPP Twin.

If you go with the DP34 switch, you'll need 3 cable runs (one from each orbital location) to go to the switch. Then you run a cable to the 211 and 2 cables to the 322.

If you go with the DPP Twin, you run a cable from the DP Dual (61.5) to the SAT IN input in the DPP Twin. From the DPP Twin you feed each receiver. You will need a DP Separator for the 322 (dual tuner) receiver.

Thanks Randall. I really appreciate the help. Think I'll try to swap out for the DP Pro. Thanks again, Tarheel

Just wanted to add the diagram for the Dish Pro Plus Twin.

Dish Pro PLUS... not just dish pro... just dish pro and you will also need a dp34

I would make sure you can actually activate that 211. If it was previously leased you may be wasting your time.
